Guild Wars 2

Jump puzzles need checkpoints. One shotting every long difficult puzzle is quite punishing for the average player.

You get an achievement for that cause it is supposed to be something “harder” that your average game-play to do and would need more effort.Else they could just give u the waypoint to the end of the puzzle and beg you to loot the chest!no fun at all!Its like playing Pacman with an auto-load each time u are surrounded by ghosts!I like the way puzzles are atm,even if they can become really frustrating at some points….but i like that.

Some jumping puzzle do have checkpoints though. The Asuran lab in Caledonian Forest and the puzzle with the portals in Metrica Province come to mind.

I agree however that most puzzles are much more of a challenge because they don’t have checkpoints.

relocate jumping puzzle out of WvW pls

Don’t really mind how they are, though I think I would like to see a Timers (and possibly Title) put on each one… as I posted here:

You won’t need to -beat- the clock if you just want treasure and / or the achievement, but if you want the title you’ll need to race. Ofcourse they’ll need to find a way to keep the mesmer’s gate in check or they (and whoever hops in the gate) will finish in under 1 second.
